Sheffield Tramlines takes the festival crown from the Camden Crawlhttp://www.theguardian.com/uk/the-northerner/2011/nov/18/sheffield-festivals
Popular vote puts the three-year-old event ahead for the first time in the National Festival Awards<p>Sheffield's notable <a href="http://www.tramlines.org.uk/">Tramlines</a> fun and frolics has beaten more than 200 other candidates to take this year's Best Metropolitan Festival award.</p><p>In keeping with our more democratic and interactive times, the victory came via a popular vote online and elsewhere, with several hundred thousand people taking part.</p><p>As you can imagine we are all over the moon. There are so many people behind the scenes working on Tramlines in their own time and totally for free. Getting industry recognition like this is exactly what they deserve.</p><p>We survive on sponsors money, help from <a href="http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/">Sheffield Council</a> and obviously all the enthusiasm from people within Sheffield who attend it. We're already working on next year's festival and hope it will be just as successful.</p><p>In only three years Tramlines has established itself as a force to be reckoned with. It's a great achievement to win this award in such a short space of time and is testament to the hard work of everyone involved.<br />&nbsp;<br />The festival gets bigger and bigger - Sheffield &nbsp;is alive&nbsp;during Tramlines&nbsp;weekend with so many different types of music, laughter and entertainment and everyone&nbsp;is always in good spirits. Here's to 2012.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/uk/the-northerner/2011/nov/18/sheffield-festivals">Continue reading...</a>SheffieldFestivalsMusicCamden CrawlBristolBrightonFri, 18 Nov 2011 08:05:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/uk/the-northerner/2011/nov/18/sheffield-festivalsJamie-James Medina/guardian.co.ukToppled: fun at this year's Camden Crawl with Tyler the Creator of Odd Future Wolf Gang.
